This is actually pretty deep ngl the doctor needed that after just dealing with a whole time war

[@Blazieth]

Absolutely. It's very telling that the Doctor continues to make jokes about this event *over a thousand years later.*

[@wargegeson8063]

Blazieth it’s how he deals with his depression

[@maggimaster]

Do you know the time war was really really recent at least for this doctor I just realized that this is like his fourth experience since regenerating and he regenerated directly after he believed he destroyed his planet

[@starviper1646]

There a reason this two parter is liked by many.

[@starviper1646]

@@wargegeson8063 hah, very funny 🤭.

[@peanutmwo6001]

that line hits hard, the doctor experienced so much death and ruin, and the joy he felt at finally seeing a day where he helped and NO ONE died, he must've felt incredible at that moment.

[@MondySpartan]

“Just this once, everybody lives!” Indeed it was just that once.

[@doomspidey1737]

There was also that night terrors episode

[@nightowl8477]

Blink (technically), Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead, The Beast Below, The Big Bang, Let's Kill Hitler, and The Wedding of River Song to name just a fraction. There were a lot of deaths on RTD'w run though, yeah.

[@credendovides20]

@@nightowl8477 They haven't shown explicit deaths, but most of those episodes mention numerous deaths off screen, like in Let's Kill Hitler, the "robot" was holding to the form of the last person they've killed, in Blink the police guy was dying et cetera... This is one of the very few were none, in the whole course of the actions connected to the episode, died.

Christopher Ecleston is so brilliant! If only we got more of him... it would’ve been amazing!

[@patchworkfellow]

It wouldn’t have been amazing, it would have been _fantastic_

[@Nektopoulo]

True

[@kindlykeyinfan5234]

Yeah BBC well actually he chose to only have one season because BBC wouldn't let him do what he wanted to do for the doctor I liked him because he was like funny and serious and funny he's even my dad's favorite

[@thebeststooge]

@@kindlykeyinfan5234 I liked him as well and he had self-deprecating humour too. Had we had him for say another three goes maybe we would not have had the current nonsense we do now that has effectively killed the franchise.

[@voteDC]

He does Doctor Who work for Big Finish. It's just the BBC he hates working with, he genuinely loves the Doctor.

[@emperorholocron8278]

It’s scenes like this that make me wish that 9 would come back for at least one episode like 10 did for the 50th

[@williamdavies3723]

This episode is disturbing but the ending is fantastic just fantastic!

[@Feuergraf]

I think the same about the family of blood

[@anduriltheflameofthewest2059]

Disturbing ?

[@cpuwrite]

@@anduriltheflameofthewest2059 As the doctor said about the boy earlier in the show: "He was operated on by an idiot." It was disturbing that there could be something as idiotic as the nanogenes. They were capable of tremendous harm when their idiocy was allowed to go unchecked, but they were capable of tremendous good when properly informed. Thank God they never got into the wrong hands!

[@adam_rainbowgoofball2050]

I loved the episode best of eccelston

[@anduriltheflameofthewest2059]

@@cpuwrite He didn't know nanogens at first.

[@dalek8609]

Well there was a war on. Perhaps she miscounted.

[@hera6310]

1701spacecadet you beat me to it!

[@sebastianbrown2270]

One of Eccelstones finest moments

[@Supershackda]

"just this once Rose, EVERYBODY LIVES!" Literally the greatest moment in Dr. Who IMO

[@LSween7573]

It’s really sad when you think about it

[@AndrewHsieh96]

Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES! 🤩

[@AndrewChapman]

1:40 Yeah, give 9 this one as he only has 3 more episodes left after this.

[@fear_cheetah2079]

And in those episodes a large amount of people die

[@AndrewChapman]

@@fear_cheetah2079 Yes, including Captain Jack. Which makes me wonder if Rose also brought them back to life and made them immortal too.

[@dssouthern]

Eccelston was one of the best ones!

[@user-uj7qn5px8g]

The final scene with grandma that lost her leg in war but after nanobot's surgery grew another one is amazing.

[@thomascasillo9861]

I've always found this episode disturbing, but the ending is absolutely fantastic. Feels so rare to see the doctor save everyone.

[@jcoptimus]

Eccleston at his best. One of the scenes that made me grow to appreciate his Doctor. Also, I love when Tennant called back the "Are you my mummy?" in the Sontaran episode.

[@fear_cheetah2079]

You might already know this but that line in the sontaran episode was actually improvised by Tennant who forgot his actual line

[@jcoptimus]

@@fear_cheetah2079 I didn't know that.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Capaldi does it too - I believe once with a real Mummy and another time with a gas mask on.

[@danielwood6833]

Such a great two parter. The antagonist was creepy as heck, the resolution to the conflict was so satisfying especially seeing the Doctor’s reaction, Jack’s introduction was great, the Doctor and Rose had great dialogue and some peak chemistry, and to top it off it ended with a dance on the TARDIS to ‘In the Mood’ by Glen Miller.

[@DoodleThis]

“Just this once! Everybody lives!” Well.... they didn’t lie about that

[@kusanalithedendroarchon]

No joke! At first I thought that he used regeneration energy.

[@ryuusei1907]

👏best👏Doctor👏ever👏

[@scsutton1]

Arguably the finest moment of Series 1.

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Ironic considering it’s written by Moffat and would be the one time in his writing for Who everyone would live. Also I miss Eccleston.

[@AndrewHsieh96]

Also ironic that the two-parter was the first story to feature Captain Jack Harkness, despite RTD only receiving credit for creating the character.

[@SteveCowlishaw]

@@AndrewHsieh96 That's not exactly ironic, RTD likely created the character and Moffat wrote him into the story with instructions from RTD. Moffat sucks though, I wouldnt give him too much credit.

[@somerandomguy2073]

He never kills people. He always either ressurects them afterwards or only kills them on a technicality. Amy and Rory lived longer than average lives; and both Clara and Bill could theoretically live for thousands, millions, billions or even trillions of years before choosing to finally die. There was also a much higher death count of supporting characters during RTD's reign than there was under Moffat. Honestly, this idea that he's like George RR Martin or something is odd to me.

[@bethyadamec7057]

Eccleston is vastly underrated as the Doctor. I love him.

[@Apocalypse21187]

could be wrong but can't remember anyone dying in the eleventh hour, Amy's parents etc had already been erased by the crack in her wall - and got resurrected in the big bang, and think everyone who's appearance the baddie took were alive.

[@sweetheartcandy93]

Still the best two part episodes they have ever made

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Great, yes, but better than "Human Nature" and "Family of Blood"?

[@helterskelter2927]

I really miss Eccleston. And Tennant.

[@LuggyBro]

Just this once. Everybody lives. Until moffat takes over the show. Then loads of people avoid death. But for 9 at least, this is a victory. And it's one of the greatest in Doctor Who

[@nangstalgic4423]

Ironically, these two episodes were written by Steven Moffat

[@moneybxndz161]

***Chris chibnall

[@nightowl8477]

@@moneybxndz161 - I have issues with Chris's era, but he definitely understands the importance of killing characters. Look at The Woman Who Fell to Earth, at least five people died on-screen in that episode alone.

[@micahschmitz859]

@@nightowl8477 Can you name any of those characters though? Besides Grace who is mention outside the episode?

[@nightowl8477]

@@micahschmitz859 - it's good to kill off side characters as well as main characters. If Yaz or Graham died that episode, that would be *too much* death so early on! There's no one to kill off other than side characters. If your point is that Chris can't write side characters as well as Russell or Steven, then I agree with that.

Everyone keeps saying how this really was the one time that "Everybody lives!!" Are we forgetting Rory, River, Clara, Bill, Missy, and countless, *countless* side characters? *Resurrection is practically Steven Moffat's party trick.*

[@austinkenway9079]

That's not what it means, it's not just the companions. In every single doctor who episode, somebody dies. But not in this episode.

[@SyrinoxNight]

Rory kinda got shafted at the end though. I mean he was happily with Amy, but displaced out of time by a weeping angel, still gotta suck.
